Gingrich calls for Paulson’s resignation
Speaking on This Week with George Stephanopolous, former GOP Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich called for the resignation of Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.
“You have the former Chairman of Goldman Sachs asking for 700 billion dollars, and in his initial request, asking for it in such an un-American way that I think he should have resigned. I think Paulson has terminally misunderstood the nature of the American system. Not just no review, no judicial review, no congressional accountability. Give me 700 billion dollars, 700 BILLION dollars! ‘I’ll be glad to spend it for you.’ That’s a centralization of power that is totally un-American.”
Perhaps Paulson could be let back into the community if he wore a magnetic bracelet that tracks his whereabouts.
